Rumor on Vice is… the man can judge a DJ battle very well.
Dream residency anywhere in the world?
Put me on a proper stage in front of a crowd that wants to party and I’m good. I want to perform for people that are there to have fun at the club, not be seen at the club.
Worst requested song or most common?
I was playing a college event last year and some kid requested Michael Buble. That one definitely sticks out as the most off the wall request.
Your craziest DJ experience?
The Red Bull Thre3style US Finals was definitely it for me. Just hanging out with all the other DJs, going to the events, and meeting a bunch of my heroes was so incredible. The night before the battle I was cutting in a hotel room with Vajra and Snayk Eyez, two of the main reasons I DJ like I do. Me winning the battle was just the icing on an incredibly delicious cake.
